Frequently Asked Questions About NFI Industries

Drayage involves transporting shipping containers short distances between ocean ports, rail yards, and distribution centers. It is local work with daily home time but involves navigating congested port areas and waiting in container pickup lines.
A TWIC (Transportation Worker Identification Credential) card is required for NFI's port drayage positions since you will be entering secure port facilities. Other NFI driving positions may not require a TWIC card.
NFI is well-regarded for local and dedicated work. The family-owned culture and daily home time make it popular among drivers who prioritize work-life balance over OTR earnings.
